The Patriots released Flowers (foot) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday. Flowers signed with the Patriots on a one-year deal on Aug. 8 after spending last season with Miami and the three previous campaigns with the Lions. He didn't have the chance to suit up in the regular season, and although he was designated for return from the reserve/PUP list on Oct. 5, he didn't seem to progress enough with his foot injury for the Patriots to keep him on the roster. If Flowers clears waivers, he'll look to catch onto another roster elsewhere.

Flowers (undisclosed) landed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The linebacker received the designation after signing with the Patriots earlier Tuesday. Flowers can return to the active roster at any time before Week 1. The two-time Super Bowl champion with New England suffered a foot injury in 2022 and played in just four games for the Dolphins.

Flowers is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with a foot injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. Flowers went to the Dolphins' locker room after picking up this injury at some point during the first half, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The veteran recorded four tackles and played 61 defensive snaps over three games this season. With Flowers out, expect Andrew Van Ginkel to see an increased role behind starting outside linebackers Melvin Ingram and Jaelan Phillips.

The Dolphins signed Flowers on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Flowers worked out for the Dolphins on Wednesday and appears to have impressed. The veteran linebacker was released by Detroit following a failed physical in March and only appeared in 14 games for the Lions over the last two years. However, before injuries derailed his career, Flowers had four straight seasons with at least 45 tackles and 6.5 sacks. He'll look to get back on track with a new-look Dolphins squad in 2022.

The Lions released Flowers (undisclosed) on Thursday. Detroit cut Flowers with a failed physical designation, per the NFL's official transaction report. The 28-year-old pass rusher has logged back-to-back seasons in which he was limited to seven games due to injuries, with his 2021 campaign having been defined by a knee issue. Parting ways with Flowers saves the Lions over $10 million against the cap, but once back to full health he should draw interest from other organizations around the league.
